Of course the media isn't biased!

From today's Mullings:
  • New York Times decided that Ben's legitimate legal activity was such an outrage that it deserved front page treatment on Wednesday morning, "Bush Campaign's Top Outside Lawyer Advised Veterans Group"
  • And then again on Thursday morning, "Lawyer for Bush Quits Over Links to Kerry's Foes."

  • The New York Times has a very specific sense of what is outrageous and what is not. They did not, for example, consider ANY of the following to be front page material:
  • The general counsel for the Kerry campaign, Bob Bauer, is also the lawyer for "America Coming Together" which, according to the Times is, "a liberal group that is organizing a huge multimillion-dollar get-out-the-vote drive"

  • The chairman of the Democratic National Convention in Boston, NM Governor Bill Richardson, is an advisor to a 527 group "The New Democratic Network"

  • Kerry's former campaign manager, Jim Jordan, is now the spokesman for a 527 called "The Media Fund"

  • The lawyer for the Democratic National Committee, Joe Sandler, is also the lawyer for the mother of all 527s, "MoveOn.org."
  • The New York Times doesn't believe these are serious issues for Democrats because they are supporting Kerry, thus they must oppose the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
